I'm not sure about that specific video because I didn't watch it. XD So, if that comment were made about that video, I misunderstood it. Yeah, some people do. I've seen forehead veins a few times, and when I searched it the article I read mentioned it as strain trying to reach higher notes, but the time I saw the vein, the person wasn't singing that high, so IDK how accurate it was. I've seen singers who are sick with forehead veins, too, when they sing, so I personally think it might be strain, but I don't know how common it is.
-
I've read a lot that contradicts that statement. Not saying you're wrong, but from what I've read bulging neck/head veins at least COULD be a sign of strain. I read a long thing the other day that argued that neck veins if seen with those who are using proper technique anyway could be a natural result from singing, but I've never seen anything that supports the idea that forehead veins bulging isn't strain.

The quality's a bit poor, but I love this performance.

This is all over my FB right now, and I figured it's worth a laugh, a sneer, or whatever you want to throw at it. Axl Rose as the "world's greatest vocalist." Sorry if it's been posted already. http://consequenceofsound.net/2014/05/axl-rose-is-the-greatest-singer-of-all-time-or-so-says-this-chart/

Just realized I was put in the OP. I'm honored, but I'd like to ask if you'd not put my name in red. It's bad luck.

Yeah, I agree that it's due to the space. It really irks me when I go to a video of an opera singer singing in large concert venues or (ESPECIALLY) outdoor arenas and see people commenting like, "Not a real opera singer! She's using a mic!" Like, seriously. Anyway, I'm not professing to be an opera expert or anything, but compared to what I usually hear, it doesn't sound as smooth and refined as let's say Sumi Jo. (But, that is Sumi Jo). I don't know if there are technical faults or anything, but the sound isn't as smooth. I actually prefer it over Callas for this aria. I always thought her voice was a bit harsh and unnatural sounding in it (I know that's subjective).

It makes me put down any book almost instantly--unless it's REALLY good otherwise.

With my new boyfriend. EDIT: I'm the guy on the left.

My prom "date" ditched me for her new bf a week before prom. ã… ã… I ended up not going. Prom woes. The struggle's real. >_< To keep this relevant, I'll drop an unexpected comment that I listened to 소향's "Let It Go" and was surprised at how much I liked it.
-
Eh, I've done reading for a few years, but nothing ever formal. I'm considering adding it as a minor, though. I've stated here before that I'm not an expert. LOL But, I'm not so basic as to not know strain, tension, or throatiness when I hear it or to not know what proper resonance and a healthy vibrato sound like. Beyond that, my knowledge gets murky to nonexistent.
-
Because Huang Ma sings that way in specific styles and not in others. SoHyang was singing that song (this one in particular was "Fate") the same way she does every time until her voice went throaty. That's why. And, I've seen at least two or three performances of Fate where she goes throaty. But, I don't have any desire to debate SoHyang anymore. It's a lost cause. EDIT: I am not even trying to say that anyone is crap to me. I have never called SoHyang anything other than a great vocalist.
-
No, Akisame just said her throatiness was non-existent, which is not a fact. I did not mean to imply you stated it as if it happened all the time.
-
I don't agree with everything he says, but I know that AhMin knows what throatiness sounds like. Seesh. You're trying TOO hard. I do know how to tell, and most of Huang Ma's notes that people love to critique are stylistic. That's all I'm going to say about that. I didn't. I just see proper vocal projection as depending in some part on having resonance if the note is produced properly.
-
Ummm ... "As do I" is perfectly acceptable as far as I know? Yes.
-
Even AhMin admitted one video of Sohyang was throaty. Deal with it. I'm not arguing anymore about Huang Ma. That's dead and gone, and you're looking for something to argue about, and I'm just not going to do it. No, I don't. I'm not doing it to support my argument. You're just too thirsty for an argument right now--so much so that you're either twisting my words or not reading carefully.
-
As do I.
-
I didn't say it was. I said that not all her notes are quiet. Projected =/= quiet. Learn to read.
-
LHS isn't my bias. Let's be honest, anything SoHyang does (even if it's a result of strain in other singers) automatically turns into her amazing technique--even her throatiness has been attributed to her amazing breath support here before, so don't even try.
-
It gets quiet when she sings softly. But, that's because she's singing softly. Seriously, I got negged for saying LSH lower register >> SoHyang's. It's the truth. LSH can project pretty well in her lower register. That's just a fact. That's not saying EVERY note she sings is projected (not every note is intended to be), but it can be. Why's it so hard for some people to accept that?
-
No, I don't.
-
I am not him.

Nice insight you made for me, but I don't see how you reached your conclusion. Anyway, I don't agree with your opinion, but I don't see a point in debating it.
-
The contradiction was that you told me not to say "I'd call it resonant," but you said, "I wouldn't call it resonant." But, I understood your meaning, so it's all good.
